Reception

Common Sense Media reviewed the film, stating: ... "This movie tells a simple and fairly satisfying story that will probably be absorbing for younger kids."
Lavanya from Red Carpet Crash depicts the film as "The movie succeeds in depicting the island in a beautiful way, taking the audience right to the ocean and breathtaking natural elements of Hawaii."
